Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories.
Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.
• To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for
your phone is maintained, secondary transmitters such as
Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled during
a call. For more information, refer to “Turning Bluetooth
On or Off” on page 54.
• If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold
the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and
over your shoulder.
• Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if
applicable.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
• If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna,
obstructing the internal antenna could inhibit call
performance.
• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn
the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable,
call Customer Care for service.

Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone
usage patterns and conditions. Battery power
consumption depends on factors such as network
configuration, signal strength, operating temperature,
features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data,
and other application usage patterns.
Battery Precautions
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a
hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone
and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or
battery, take it to a service center for inspection.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any
way.
• Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could
result in serious safety hazards.
• If you use the phone near the network's base station, it
uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and
the parameters set by the network operator.
• Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines
found in the user’s guide.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery
charge and the type of battery and charger used. The
battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation
